There once was a young king. He wanted to find the answers to what he thought the three most important questions in life:When is the right time for every action?Who are the most important people?What is the most important thing to do?The king promised a rich prize to anyone who could answer the questions. However, the king wasn't happy with all the answers he got from them. So he decided to visit a wise old man who lived deep in the woods.
When he went inside the wise old man's garden, he found the old man digging. He asked the old man his three questions, but the old man didn't respond. Seeing how old and weak the old man was, the king began helping him dig. The king dug for hours, but the old man still didn't answer his questions. Just as the king was about to leave, a wounded (受伤的) man ran into the garden and passed out (晕倒). The king carried the wounded man into the house and took care of him. When the wounded man woke up, he told the king that he had wanted to kill the king but was wounded by the soldiers outside the house.

Afterwards, the king went outside and asked his questions to the old man again. The old man replied, "If you had not helped me dig earlier, you might be killed by the man. At that moment, the most important person was me, and the most important time was when you were digging. The most important thing to do was to be kind to me. When the wounded man arrived, he was the most important person, and saving him was the most important thing. By doing so, you made peace with an enemy. "
The king understood at once. The most important time is the present, as it's the only time we have the power to act. The most important person is the one you are with, and the most important thing is always to be kind to that person.

How do we use strong body language to make us seem powerful while making a speech? Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from.The picture is Tony the Tiger's typical pose on every cereal box across America.
Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel.So by examining Tony's pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet.If you look closer, as if he were saying, "I am going up" or "____".
If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive.This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy
Tony the Tiger always faces forward.When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see.
An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom.The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them.When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child's attention to that character.Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest!
Great body language during the speech draws the audience's attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship.Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony
